ELUVEITIE: Origins Album Streaming + New Video Released
The mighty clan of Swiss folk-metal pioneers ELUVEITIE have made their new album Origins available for streaming here.
Origins will be released on August 1st (EUR), August 4th (UK) and on August 5th (North America) via Nuclear Blast. Cover artwork was created by none other than the group’s mastermind himself, Chrigel Glanzmann. Origins was recorded once again with producer Tommy Vetterli (KREATOR, CORONOR) at New Sound Studios in Switzerland. Pre-order your copy today with or without an exclusive t-shirt design here.
The single “The Call Of The Mountains” (English version) is now available in the digital format. The full song in Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansh will be on the beautiful Nuclear Blast mail-order edition of Origins and via iTunes.
Today, the band also debuted “The Call Of The Mountain” music video: check out the clip brought to Nuclear Blast in cooperation with Decibel Magazine here.
“With only two day to go until the release of Origins, we are proud to present to you the second video for the album: ‘The Call Of The Mountains’,” shares the band. “This is a song that has a very personal connection to all of us: it is a song about the long searched-for destination at the end of an epic journey, the journey of the Celts who were to become the Helvetians: it is a song about our mystical, majestical, and unparalleled alps. We shot the video in a fitting, beautiful (and sometimes vertigo-inducing) scenery, and we hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it for you!”
